1. Whirling of a stone tied to a string: The string provides necessary centripetal force for the rotation of stone.

2. Turning of vehicles in a circular track: The friction due to the tyres in case of levelled road and the angle of inclination of tracks in case of banked tracks provides the necessary centripetal force.

What is the force called that keeps an object moving in a circle?

The force that keeps an object moving in a circle or an arc is called a centripetal force. Gravity is an example of centripetal force that keeps a satellite in a circular orbit around a planet. Another example is when you ride on a merry-go-round - the rotating play structure imparts a centripetal force upon you, forcing you to also travel in a circle.


The unbalenced force that causes an object to move in a circular path is called a?

centripetal force


What happens to an object that is moving in a circle if the centripetal force is removed?

The centripetal force is what draws the object towards the centre. The centrifugal force is what draws the object away from the centre. Generally when one speaks of centrifugal force, one means only that it takes the centripetal force to keep moving the object out of its straight direction of travel. If you remove the centripetal force in such an example, such as when the object is in a circular orbit around another body, then the result will be that the orbiting body will continue traveling in a straight line at a tangent to the circular path it had been following.


What effects gravity and centripetal combined on the same orbiting path?

I'm not sure exactly what you are asking, but centripetal force is just a name given to any force that causes circular motion. Swing a rock on the end of a string and the string tension is the centripetal force. Drive a car around a flat circular track and the friction between the tires and the road is the centripetal force. Put a satellite in orbit and gravity is the centripetal force.


The inward force needed to keep an object moving in a circle?

The force that keeps objects moving in a circle is known as the centripetal force, which acts towards the center. The velocity of the object moving in a circle will be tangential to the circle.

What is example of centripetal force?

A roller coaster entering a loop experiences a centripetal force, which is exerted by the track.


What is the example of centripetal force?

An example of centripetal force is when a car goes around a curve with a constant speed. The friction between the tires and the road provides the centripetal force that keeps the car moving in a curved path.


What are some examples of centripetal forces?

Centripetal force is a force that makes a body follow a curved path. An example of centripetal force is gravity making something in space orbit Earth. Mud flying in circles from a tire going down the road is centripetal force.


Is projectile launched into space an example of centrifugal force?

A launched projectile is not an example of centrifugal force. It is an example of centripetal force.


Is Gravity is example of a centripetal force?

It can be. A centripetal force is not fundamental (such as gravity), it is the generic name given to a force that keeps objects moving in orbits (or circles). In the case of the Sun and the Earth, gravity is the centripetal force that keeps the Earth in orbit around the Sun.


What is a sentence using the word centripetal?

A ball on a string is an example of centripetal acceleration


What kind of a force is centripetal force?

When a body is forced to follow a curved path and be directional to the velocity of the path it is known as a centripetal force. Simply put, centripetal force is the cause of circular motion. An example is a loop within a roller coaster that goes upside down, the centripetal force is applied to the track making the coaster travel through at speed.


What is a real life example of centripetal force?

A spinning ball on a string being swung around in a circle is a real life example of centripetal force. The force provided by the string towards the center of the circle is the centripetal force that keeps the ball in circular motion.

What is the symbol for centripetal force?

The symbol for centripetal force is "Fc".


How centripetal force equals to gravitational force?

The centripetal force is equal to the gravitational force when a particular body is in a circle. For a body that is in an orbit, the gravitational force is equivalent to the centripetal force.


How many times centripetal force will increase if the angular speed of a body moving with uniform speed moving in a circle is increases?

Centripetal acceleration, and therefore centripetal force, is proportional to the square of the angular velocity. For example, if you increase the angular velocity by a factor of 10, the centripetal force will be increased by a factor of 100.
